Are these "bulging"? How much bulge is too much? Or is _any_ bulging

Thanks,

I had a few years refurbishing old equipment. I routinely replaced
power supply electrolytics as they were always suspect. I've found
some electrolitics that were not bulging but had no measurerable
capacitance.

I remember an Italian TV signal and video generator that had banks of
electrolytics wired in parallel rather than using high capacitance. It
was a good idea as small capacitors lasted longer than large ones. I
still changed them all!
